Where Flowers Bloom

After an emotional week that began with the tears of Memorial Day and concluded with the frustration of Haditha, maybe it’s appropriate to think about these words.“Where flowers bloomSo does hope”-Lady Bird Johnson-

There is always hope, better days may be slow in coming, but they will. We have lived in worse times, and we will keep going. This is America, we are still relatively free, and we can make a difference. The fact we do this is proof! Keep your chin up!

I think the Day Lily was Lady Bird's favorite flower.For the younguns and those that don't know, the 1st Lady's project(1st Ladies are expected to pick one) was the "Beautification of America", and that is why as you drive across this wonderful land you see wildflowers along the interstate.

When one visits our Nations Capitol, one may want to stop at the Lady Bird Johnson Park. It's across from the Iwo Jima Statue, on the Virginia side.
